Biden Faces Calls to Exit 2024 Race

President Biden faces mounting pressure from within his party to exit the 2024 presidential race, with several prominent Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff, publicly calling for his withdrawal due to concerns over his viability and mental acuity. Despite this, Biden has insisted he will remain in the race, attributing the calls for his exit to party elites, even as grassroots dissatisfaction grows. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) initially planned an early virtual roll call to nominate Biden, citing Ohio's ballot deadlines, but has since delayed it to August 1 following backlash from House Democrats. Meanwhile, some Democrats are floating alternative candidates like Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Bernie Sanders continues to support Biden, emphasizing his effectiveness as president. Biden's recent positive COVID-19 test has added another layer of complexity to the situation.
